WOW! VOLUME 20 / 2012 • 11 There'sno place like 12homeCS for a corporate headquarters
Being innovative requires both courage and risk—two things that CSI is familiar with. > I Being innovative requires both courage and risk—two things that CSI is familiar with. In fact, innovation is a key factor in the success CSI has achieved. The firm was the first to provide commercial loan processing for commercial banks, the first to offer a nationwide PC software sales program, the first to offer Internet banking, and the first to provide a corporate intranet to community-based financial institutions. So, it’s not surprising that the Paducah Chamber of Commerce named a company credited with a long list of firsts as its 2012 Business of the Year. “Technology influences business in every market segment, so as we’ve developed more robust technology offerings, we’ve had the opportunity to expand into new industries,” said Chairman John Williams. “We’ve become the industry leader because we believe in innovation and understand customers always come first.” From the time CSI was incorporated in 1965, this local firm set the pace for improving systems within the banking and financial industry. Starting with only three Paducah customers and six employees, CSI began to grow its base of clients on a national level within the first year.
“Our success comes from understanding our customers’ needs and then providing solutions that positively impact their business,” said Steve Powless, chief executive officer. “CSI has always been committed to delivering efficient, professional service through the most relevant solutions available in the market.” Innovation in technology has demanded that businesses stay current in order to keep pace with the changing business environment. CSI offers cutting-edge technology solutions that save its customers money. “The leadership philosophy at CSI has always been to help our customers grow and succeed. As their needs have changed, so too has our business— often leading the way—so that our solutions enable them to maintain both market and wallet share,” said Williams. “CSI has never been afraid to invest in innovation, even if it failed, because we always learn, even from the failures.” The company knows what it takes to grow a business, as well as the businesses of its customers. This leader in financial technology solutions never waits for competitors to make the first move. Instead, CSI actively anticipates the next challenge customers will face and focuses on solving that challenge before it ever becomes one. CSI’s core mission is to understand its customers’ needs and deliver solutions that help them to remain competitive, compliant, and profitable. This local company also believes that it has an obligation to support local charitable agencies and organizations, helping to make Paducah a better place to live. Nearly five decades have passed since CSI opened its doors. Now the corporate headquarters is proudly situated in a 75,000-square-foot building staffed by a team of highly respected technology professionals. And just like Paducah Bank, CSI continues to call Paducah “home.” 15 ★ Kalleo Technologies Their boots were made for walking . . . back here to Paducah.
In 2004 siblings John and Doug Truitt traded in the tumbleweed and cactus of Texas for the dogwoods and azaleas of their ancestral home in Western Kentucky. {In 1957 the brothers’ grandparents moved to Paducah from Marion, KY where the Truitt family has maintained a homestead since the 1840s .} To their surprise, a business opportunity came along here on the familiar riverbank of the Ohio in Paducah. Deciding to make the move and set up shop in a place perhaps not necessarily considered the mecca of high tech, the two aspiring information technologists began a venture that has now grown to encompass not only regional clients but national ones as well.

VOLUME 20 / 2012 PRESIDENT AND CEO KellyNUCKOLS “JPEC (which celebrates 75 years this year) has relieved the burden households used to bear.” he energy and spirit of Jackson Purchase Energy Corporation’s (JPEC) employees has driven this rural cooperative for the past 75 years. They are willing to work long hours and around the clock during times of emergency. Their primary goal is to ensure Tthat their customers’ energy needs are fulfilled. At all levels of the organization, employees understand the value that this rural cooperative brings to the residents of the six counties they serve in Western Kentucky. As JPEC celebrates its 75th Anniversary this year, it would be easy to take the modern conveniences that residents enjoy today for granted. But there was a time when residents in rural areas of Western Kentucky had no access to power. They had no other option than to do everything by hand and before dark. In 1937, groups of citizens banded together across the Commonwealth to form the first rural electric cooperatives. This was the first time that power lines were introduced in much of the state. And this introduction truly did transform rural life in Western Kentucky. “JPEC has relieved the burden households used to bear,” said Kelly Nuckols, President and CEO. “I remember my grandmother washing clothes by hand. Because of the rural cooperatives, today people in our rural areas are free to focus on more than just housework.” The cooperative has been successful partly because of the strong relationship JPEC has built with their members. “We get attached to our members,” said Izell White, Vice President, Human Resources and Member Relations. “We like knowing that
22 • WOW! VOLUME 20 / 2012 our customers feel comfortable with our employees and are willing to wait just to talk to the person they want to talk to.” And members aren’t stopping by to report a complaint. “We have people who come in just to say ‘Hi,’” said Rachel Fiessinger, Customer Service Representative. “It makes me feel good to know that I’m helping to serve our members’ needs.” Today, JPEC does more than just provide electricity. They also educate their members on energy-efficient practices. They distribute energy-saving light bulbs to new members, at the Annual Meeting and on Fridays during the month of October. Customer service representatives are trained on current energy-saving practices. They share tips with their members in an effort to help them keep the bills down during peak seasons for energy use. The organization strives to be ahead of the needs of their members and continues to provide quality service to their residents. Paducah Bank is proud to celebrate the achievements of JPEC, and we applaud the company’s efforts to continue to serve the community in so many important ways.

CELEBRATING 20 Editions of Paducah Bank WOW! Magazine
e been ” we’vpressing “ex ourselves since 2003 WOW! VOLUME 20 / 2012 • 27 In the summer of 2003, Paducah Bank introduced a new way of communicating with its many friends and neighbors in and around the community it serves. It was called Expressions!, and the first cover featured Midwest Aviation with Express Bankers Cristy Poindexter and Janis Phillips delivering bank documents to Frank Shelton. Joe Framptom was shown accepting the Paducah Chamber Business of the Year Award wrapped in his trusty trench coat and flanked by Suzanne Farmer in her fur-lined parka. (You may recall that memorable Chamber annual dinner in the tent?!) • There was a feature welcoming George Shaw and Wendy Kester as investment advisors. Maurie McGarvey presented a check to the United Way for $40,000, the bank’s support of the Artist Relocation Program was highlighted, and the bank’s fleet of PT Express Banker Cruisers was introduced. • And so it began. The magazine has morphed into WOW! and has grown considerably in a host of ways. For one thing, it’s now physically bigger. From its humble infancy as an 8.5 x 8.5, 32-page publication to its now imposing presence as a 9x12, 56-page magazine, this story of Paducah Bank, and the many people who make it great, has evolved in both size and impact. • The one constant, after eight years and 20 editions, is the hundreds of people being featured on the pages of WOW! Then, as now, the bank has been devoted to lifting up the people of Paducah who, individually and as a whole, have created a way of life that is worthy of note. WOW! makes it a consistent goal to take note of THEM. • “We worked on a brochure or profile document we could use to promote the bank,” recalls Wally Bateman, President of Paducah Bank. “It was difficult to put into words, and into a small format, all the many facets of the bank’s ‘personality.’ We finally decided to do a periodical so that we could continuously tell the story as well as highlight the many people, both staff and customers, who come together to make this bank such a unique institution.” • The result is almost 1,000 pages of prose we can be proud of, memories we can look back on, and people we have known and hold in high regard. “The magazine is such a wonderful historical reference for us now,” says Susan Guess, Senior Vice President of Marketing. “It’s so much fun to flip back through the pages of all the many issues and remember how nice it has been to get to know so many people in new and interesting ways. Our magazine not only represents Paducah Bank, it honors the great community we all proudly call our hometown.”

Take him out to the ballgame The thrill of being at the ballpark never wanes for Kentucky Athletic Hall of Famer, Phil Roof
aducah native Phil Roof is a member of the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame, Class of 2011. What preceded that honor? A more than fifty-year career in major and minor league baseball as a player, coach, and manager. • Born in 1941, in Paducah, Kentucky, PRoof grew up with a family of baseball fans. He and his father and brothers listened to all of the St. Louis Cardinals games on the radio. That is, of course, except for the once or twice a year that they made the 175-mile trip to Busch Stadium to watch one live. On those occasions, Roof got to see some of his idols in person, like Stan “The Man” Musial and Red Schoendienst. Outside of that, though, he idolized his older brothers. As a matter of fact, four of his brothers played professional baseball. Gene and Phil both played in the majors. • As for Phil, his baseball career began in the 7th grade. That year, he made the team at St. John’s, a small Catholic school just outside of Paducah. The next year he made the varsity team, and started every game as catcher until he graduated from high school on May 24,1959. Two days later he signed a $35,000 contract with the Milwaukee Braves. • “With my exposure to baseball, playing with my brothers, the skills I had, and the way the scouts philROOF looked at me, it just seemed like second nature that I would be playing pro baseball,” says Roof. Roof knew it was a great opportunity and turned down a number of college scholarship offers to play. The decision paid off. A year later, the Braves called Phil up to the majors. And in the spring of 1961, he made his major league debut, tagging out Jim Davenport in the 9th inning. He continued to play for minor league teams for a few more seasons, but he would get his major-league chance again. This time, it was for the Kansas City A’s. In May 1966, Roof hit a home run in the 12th inning, leading the A’s to a 5-3 victory over the Washington Senators. It was his first, and one of the most thrilling moments of his life. He started every game that season. “The biggest thrill was being able to walk into the clubhouse and not having to look at the bulletin board to see if I was playing or not,” says Roof. In his 15-year major league career, Roof played in 857 games. He played his last game for the Toronto Blue Jays in 1977, at the age of 36. He then moved into coaching, working for eight years in the majors. And then he became a minor league manager for the Minnesota Twins organization. A baseball player all his life, Roof knew he wanted to continue working in the game. But as a coach and manager, he found a new thrill. “The most rewarding thing is getting that phone call from your general manager to ‘send ’em up.’ I can’t get the smile on their faces out of my mind,” says Roof. Roof says throughout his years coaching and managing, he’s had 40 or 50 players under him move up to the majors. That includes some current MLB stars like Joe Mauer, Justin Monreau, Tori Hunter, and David Ortiz. Although he officially retired in 2005, Roof’s passion for the sport continues. Every year since ’05, the Twins have called him back to help out. In 2011, he coached for the major league team. Considering that’s the same year he became a member of the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame, Roof seems to be enjoying baseball as much as ever. “It was like being a rookie again at the major leagues. I didn’t think I’d done enough to be given that honor. I was in tall cotton, believe me,” says Roof. Now as spring sweeps across the empty baseball diamonds emerging from their winter’s rest, 71-year-old Phil Roof is back in the swing of spring himself. He’s headed for training with the Twins, and yet another season opening his beloved sport of baseball.
“Phil Roof is one of the real great guys of the game. He was the type of teammate, and I think person, that you looked forward to going to the ballpark to see every day. He was just such a terrific guy. I think every time Phil played, it was a joy to be out there with him. —Ken Sanders, former Minnesota Twins pitcher 32 Paducah Bank gives you our BEST every day!

MSU WILL ADD A NEW DIMENSION TO PADUCAH’S EDUCATION CORRIDOR ALONG I-24
he new MSU Paducah campus was christened in a most appropriate way this past May. As Tlocal representatives of both Murray State University and Paducah/McCracken County performed their symbolic shoveling of the dry soil at the site, they were “blessed” with a much-needed fall of rain. But nothing could dampen the spirits of the many who gathered to witness the ceremonial beginning of what will eventually become an MSU Paducah campus along I-24. In his remarks at the event, Chad Chancellor, Paducah Economic Development president, called the addition of MSU the strengthen- ing of a “higher education corridor” already existing with the presence of one of the nation’s Top Five Community Colleges (WKCTC) and the availability of the UK Engineering School. “One of the first things companies want to know about a prospective site is the availability of a strong, educated work- force. We can certainly answer that question in the affirmative as we add this new institution to our community’s educational environment.” Susan Guess, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Paducah Bank and a member of the MSU Board of Regents, added, “This project has been a long- range vision of many people among our community’s leadership. It has been very gratifying for me to be able to witness the culmination of this dream as it becomes a reality.” The MSU Paducah Campus is scheduled to open in the fall of 2013.
